Before they knelt, the seven were standing with more than 50 people holding signs outside the building. Police then held them in custody for three hours

Well, that is not entirely true. They were arrested for trespassing because "around 8:30 a.m., Cabrera and six other pastors sat in front of the entrance to the building, blocking the entrance". I would think that any religious denomination would be arrested for doing that.
